He was getting paid ~$22K/week from his own antivaccine propaganda org (which makes a lot of money lying about vaccines) before taking a hiatus to run for political office. He is antivaccine. And he is a grifter. There is no hidden nuance or missing context.
Every single public figure willing to overlook "RFK Jr runs a deadly scam lying about the baseless & repeatedly disproven link between vaccines and autism" is revealing themselves to be fundamentally cynical and capable of lying about literally anything. They should not be trusted on any subject.
this urge to launder rfk jr. as “just a guy who is right about a few things” is such a perfect example of how liberals are people who won’t take their own side in a fight

We don’t talk enough about how normal people flaunting COVID restrictions without consequence accelerated the breakdown of social order that started with the rise of Trump. When there’s no consequences for being an asshole, the worst assholes get to show you who they are.

Back on Twitter, I didn't block the jerks who would give me a hard time because I thought I should be strong enough to stand up for my opinions and principles. Of course, now I know better: these jerks just want to give us a hard time, to make our day greyer and grimmer. So, block, block, block.
1. Block block block. The nuclear block here works - blocked accounts disappear from your timeline and your mentions disappear from theirs. Blocking anyone who behaves badly to anyone is a great way to avoid bad vibes taking over. Be aware that blocks are public and can be seen via 3rd party sites.
